The Best Strategies for Reducing Social Inequalities in Health
From: Scandinavian Common Sense
$0.70
Social inequalities in health may now be clearly recognized, but this is not true of strategies for reducing them. This chapter describes two pioneering initiatives aimed at reducing social inequalities in health: the Dutch national research program and the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health. Finally, it ends with a reflection on the role of sustainable development and how it will inform this study of Nordic policies for reducing social inequalities in health.
